We do not republish articles from Daily Star. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Daily Star reports a UKHSA yellow cold health alert and a Met Office cold snap forecast, then fills the piece with appliance advice from an AO.com employee. Its headline presents that retailer advice as a major official-sounding warning and puts the words 'do these five things now' in quotation marks, though nobody in the article says them. The weather facts in the body match other coverage of the same cold snap.
Headline goes beyond the article
Minor
“major 'do these five things now' warning”
Why this matters
The headline calls this a 'major' warning and puts 'do these five things now' in quotation marks, as though an authority issued those words to the public.
The impression it gives
A reader believes an official body, such as the Met Office or UKHSA, has issued a major warning telling Britons to take five specific steps now.
The context
Nobody in the article says 'do these five things now'. The official alert in the body is the UKHSA yellow cold health alert for two regions. The step-by-step advice comes from an appliance expert at the retailer AO.com, and the body never sets it out as five things.
